The only cocktail I like is one I can't find outside of New Orleans. Not vintage, but then again, who knows if it is or not?

 

[Absinthe_1900]

Two that are really nice.

8 parts Cotes du Rhone, 5 parts good quality gin - Tanqueray or Hendricks, 3 parts Cr?®me de Mure. Mix well, and serve slightly chilled in a brandy glass.

WHY DO I KEEP EXPERIMENTING WITH GREEN CHARTREUSE?

 

[BegintheBeguine]

Tsk tsk

You are not supposed to drink it, my dear. It is for decoration.

Tonight, there is a lovely concoction of white cranberry-strawberry juice and vodka waiting for me when I get home.

I'm ill, I'm exhausted, and quite frankly I don't feel like thinking anymore!

Beats me, old sport. It only works for me when it's neat, with a glass of water on the side.

Haw, haw. It's gotta go with SOMETHING! I just tried a simple gin/lemon/chartreuese combo 4:2:1. It still overpowers the drink! (Actually not too bad by the time you get to the second round.)

How about this from my useless knowledge file:
The Byculla Souffl?© - a very Edwardian dish, the pride of the Byculla Club in Bombay; a sweet mousse in which layers of cream are flavoured with different liqueurs - Chartreuese, Benedictine and Maraschino - and set with gelatine. Since the Byculla Club ceased to exist in 1920, to the best of my knowledge so did the Byculla Souffl?©.

You can always get the cat to make you one.

Good God, James, all copies of that recipe need to burned.

Oh, you guys and gals, making me miss San Diego and the oyster shooters I used to down at the Fishmart.

And, here in Iowa, if I want a decent martini, I have to tell the bartender exactly how I want it: extra dry gin, ice cold, a spritz of extra dry vermouth, shaken not stirred, and four olives.

One restaurant gets it right. I still make them better, though.

The Nyquil or the Souffle?

The price of limes has come down in Sydney! Hurrah! I can now use quantities of fresh juice instead of frozen (or - shudder - pre-squeezed and packaged).

We've had a couple of very hot days down here lately, so one of my favourite tall drinks is a modified White Lady, using lime instead of lemon and adding soda water:

1 part lime juice
1 part Cointreau
2 parts gin
Dash egg white
Top up with soda water.

Very refereshing on a long hot afternoon.

That's where mine reside...except when they're in use or getting washed.
